Chapter 152: I Only Communicate with the Strong

Xiao Zi calculated that, if his guess was correct, the person from this world whom he had killed in the horror realm should be what they called a Divine Martial expert.

Yet, killing her had been as easy as snapping his fingers.

If such an existence was considered a top-tier combat powerhouse in this world, could he reign supreme here, or perhaps even conquer the entire world?

However, he had no idea how much shock his casual remark had brought to the men in black.

With three True Martial realm experts holding the fort down, the guy on the opposite side had just uttered a simple, "So weak?"

Then again, the leader among the men in black seemed to recall something and spoke up, "About several hundred years ago, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth became extremely unstable for some unknown reason, and it kept dwindling.

During that period, countless experts slaughtered one another competing for resources, causing a massive casualties among the elite tier.

And you should be able to sense just how thin the spiritual energy is nowadays."

In his understanding, Xiao Zi must have entered seclusion before the great upheaval of the world and had only recently emerged, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be like this.

His words genuinely piqued Xiao Zi's interest.

He seriously sensed the abnormal energy lingering between heaven and earth, and couldn't help uttering a sigh of emotion.

"With just this sliver of energy, someone actually managed to cultivate all the way to Grade A purely through cultivation?"

Confirming that there really was a pitifully meager trace of abnormal energy between heaven and earth, Xiao Zi's view of the so-called Divine Martial realm powerhouses shifted from disdain to admiration.

To be honest, had he not been reincarnated into the horror realm but ended up in this world instead, he would have been doing well just to reach the Body Tempering realm.

Still, he wanted to make sure: if the so-called Divine Martial realm truly represented the pinnacle of combat strength in this world, they ought to know the woman he had killed in the horror realm.

"Do you know a woman with hair like snakes, looks pretty decent, and can turn people into stone?"

Hearing Xiao Zi's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Wasn't this a description of the Witch Medusa, who had ruled the world for a full thousand years?

Their very first thought was that this fellow before them must be an old acquaintance or an enemy of Medusa's, or he wouldn't have asked such a question.

Yet, how were they supposed to answer now?

Should they tell the truth and say that Medusa insisted on courting death by attempting spatial travel and thus killed herself?

Or should they put it more tactfully and say she had already ascended to another world?

After much deliberation, they decided to phrase it more tactfully.

"The one you are referring to must be the great Saintess Medusa. She... she has already achieved ascension in broad daylight."

"Ascension in broad daylight?"

Xiao Zi was taken aback. Could this world actually have that whole routine of ascending to immortality found in his past life's fantasy novels?

That didn't make sense either, though—wasn't that Medusa killed directly by him after arriving in the horror realm?

However, he didn't care about that issue.

"What I want to know is, what tier was she in this world?"

"Long before the great upheaval of the world, she ascended to the absolute peak of humanity and has reigned as the strongest expert in this world for over a thousand years."

"A person can live for over a thousand years?"

Xiao Zi was shocked. On one hand, he was shocked that someone of Medusa's caliber could be the strongest expert in this world for a millennium; on the other hand, he was shocked that a human being could actually live for over a thousand years.

That being said, it also set his mind at ease. It seemed he was undoubtedly the combat ceiling of this world, free to play around as much as he pleased.

And if Wang Hui were to arrive in this world alive, he wouldn't face any danger given his strength.

However, the men in black were completely bewildered by Xiao Zi's question and could only nod tremblingly, "Um."

That said, Xiao Zi's interest in this world was already immensely piqued.

The energy here was completely different from the terrifying energy of the horror realm; this was energy that could grant a human eternal youth and immortality.

It seemed the greater worlds were still quite fascinating. Furthermore, according to the system's map, there were quite a few such different worlds, and he wondered what conditions were like in the others.

Watching the smile on Xiao Zi's face grow increasingly exaggerated, the leading man in black tentatively asked, "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first. We'll handle the matters here for you and ensure it causes you absolutely no trouble at all."

Seeing that these people were about to leave, Xiao Zi immediately enveloped them all with his aura and said with a chilling tone, "Did you guys mention earlier that this country's standing in this world isn't very high?"

The few men in black nodded with bitter expressions.

"Do you want to make this country powerful?"

They nodded again with blank expressions.

"I've decided. I'll become the guardian expert of your country. Just wait for all the nations of the world to tremble in fear because of your country."

With that, he broke into that exceptionally spine-chilling smile.

Logically speaking, upon hearing that such a powerful existence was willing to become the guardian expert of their nation, they ought to be overjoyed.

Yet, when they saw Xiao Zi's bone-chillingly cold smile, they could only feel a cold shriek running down their spines.

To be frank, they dared not bring such a completely unknown and unfathomable entity back to headquarters, but his strength was simply too overwhelming.

They were too reluctant to part with the meager cultivation they had painstakingly built up over the years, otherwise, they really would have fought Xiao Zi to the death.

In fact, the reason they had managed to arrive at the scene so quickly was precisely because Wancheng was the capital of the Chinan Kingdom, and the headquarters of the Supernatural Association was located right here.

When these men in black returned looking battered and disheveled, everyone was dumbfounded.

They simply watched as a red malevolent spirit escorted them in like prisoners, and right off the bat, the spirit demanded:

"I want to see the strongest person you have here."

Since Xiao Zi was not in the habit of exposing his aura, these people assumed he was just a lucky malevolent spirit who had achieved some success in cultivation, and immediately prepared to strike.

Yet, facing them, Xiao Zi merely glanced at the opponent indifferently.

With just that single look, a normally aloof Body Tempering realm expert was frightened to the marrow of his bones, nearly collapsing to the ground unable to stand.

Ultimately, however, Xiao Zi did get to see the so-called president of the Supernatural Association, one of the True Martial realm experts guarding the nation.

Upon seeing Xiao Zi, the president's first reaction was that some trashy spirit dared to run amok here and even claim he was looking for him.

Then, noticing the expressions on the others' faces, he grew slightly more serious and looked at Xiao Zi coldly: "What business do you have with me?"

Xiao Zi, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent: "There's someone in that direction stronger than you. Tell them to speak with me; you're far too weak of a chicken."

Hearing this, the president instantly exploded. Someone in that direction stronger than him?

Glancing back, he seemed to realize something, which only made him even more furious: "I am the president here, and I call the shots! Didn't you understand?"

With that, he released what he believed to be his immensely intimidating, pitifully weak aura, appearing intent on intimidating Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi merely smiled faintly at him, simultaneously releasing his own aura: "I said I'm looking for the strongest person here. You're too weak. Do you understand?"
